Stay here: Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo Otemachi

What’s the deal?

Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo Otemachi sits at the heart of Tokyo’s most prominent financial district, neighbouring the Imperial Palace and its gardens. The location is remarkably advantageous, directly connected to Otemachi Station, Tokyo’s largest underground interchange, where five metro lines converge, with Tokyo Station just a short walk away.

Opened in September 2020, the hotel features 162 rooms and 28 suites, whose design masterfully fuses modern elegance with traditional Japanese aesthetics, achieving a seamless balance between function, comfort and beauty. Each spacious room offers sweeping views of Tokyo’s dynamic skyline and the neighbouring Imperial Palace Gardens, with Mount Fuji’s majestic silhouette visible on clear days. It’s Four Seasons’ signature hospitality and then some – the hotel delivers an exceptional experience for discerning travellers in search of refined luxury. 

Why stay?

The hotel’s wellness facilities prove equally impressive – The Spa on the 39th floor feels like a serene oasis in the clouds. Designed in calming aqua tones that evoke the tranquillity of drifting skyward, its five meticulously appointed treatment rooms offer broad city views, with the couples’ suite providing an ideal romantic escape. The fitness centre and 20-metre indoor pool are no less striking, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows framing Tokyo’s cityscape, transforming every workout into a visually uplifting experience.

In a city full of incredible dining, the hotel’s dining portfolio reflects the same commitment to excellence. At its heart is Est, a Michelin-starred restaurant led by acclaimed French chef Guillaume Bracaval, who masterfully blends classic French techniques with Japanese craftsmanship. Dedicated to a sustainable, farm-to-table philosophy, Est sources nearly all of its ingredients directly from farmers and fishermen across Japan, each dish capturing the essence of the country’s four seasons. You’ll enjoy an intimate view of the culinary artistry through the open kitchen, while the rooftop terrace offers a rare elevated dining experience in Tokyo. Complementing Est are several other standout venues: Pigneto, an Italian restaurant infused with Mediterranean passion and flavour; The Lounge, a serene destination for refined Japanese tea ceremonies and delicate French patisserie; and Virtù, a sophisticated cocktail bar ranked 18th on the 2025 Asia’s 50 Best Bars list.

Cathay Pacific editors say... 

“Don’t miss the opportunity to indulge in The Spa . I loved the Yakusugi Massage (available in 60- or 90-minute sessions) which uses oil derived from ancient Japanese cedar trees. Inspired by shinrin yoku, the Japanese practice of forest bathing, this treatment combines sleep-promoting massage techniques combine with the fresh, soothing fragrance of cedar, creating a profound sense of tranquillity. Yet it’s the setting truly elevates the experience: gazing out over the magnificent Imperial Palace from the treatment room offered an unparalleled sense of wellbeing.”
